Im in school and i just heard about a shooting at virginia tech.
there was 28 wounded and 21 died.
it was called the deadliest campus shooting in U.S history.
The gunman was killed. It's unclear wether he was killed by police or took his own life.

one student was killed in a dorm and the others in the classroom.
It is unknown if the gunman was a student there.

O.O

wow. sad.gif

they actually just changed the numbers that at least 31 are dead and 29 are injured. they said on the news it's the deadliest shooting in the US's history, it's heartbreaking.

Yeah, death toll is at 31 now. I'm trying to find why the guy did it and if he was a student but they haven't released any of that information yet.

i haven't heard anything like that, that's probably just a stupid rumor. for the past few weeks the school has been getting constant bomb threats and they believe that the shooting today may have been pre-meditated and the shooter may have been the same person calling in the bomb threats to sort of "test" the reaction of security.

i know someone who goes there. this reminds me i need to call him..

We got the announcement in school. Some of my friends' siblings go there, so they were all panicking and crying.

Horrible. sad.gif

What's interesting is that shootings happen more often during this time of year. Like Columbine was on 4/20 in 1999 which is also in the third week of April.

Wasn't there a shooting a Virginia Tech last year also?

OMG. My ex boyfriend goes there.

I saw that on news earlier... that's really sad.

The AP is reporting 31 dead and four hospitals are reporting an additional 29 wounded, according to CNN.

I just saw it on the news, I think there are 32 confirmed deaths now. I have a couple friends who go there but I haven't been able to contact them.
[[.Ami.Rose.]]
This must have been what was on the news a minute ago. If the girlfriend rumour is true, it's a pretty lame excuse to kill so many people.

Holy shit.
That's horrible.

It's amazing how only bad news gets reported. I mean, you occasionally get this uplifting, beautiful tale, but only like once a month.
People love other people's misery so much, they like to share it with the world sad.gif

i don't really think it's like that,
but it's just that people need to know about this kind of stuff first.

My parents talked to my ex boyfriends parents and he's okay.
Thank god, I called him though just to tell him.
God, there were rumors he was injured so I was so scared.

I don't like it at all. I'm not going to pretend all of these things don't happen, they do, whatever the media coverage, but I'd prefer it if they didn't try to scare us out of our wits.

We went out for a year, and he was my first love.
Bascially I was freaking out when I heard this.

no one wants to get scared.
they just show this to you for awareness.

Now it's 33 people. The numbers are growing.

What kind of gun did he use? For 32 people it must have been a rifle and maybe even automatic.
